Chapter 384: Chapter 235: Secrets of Second Rank Life, Benjamin Arriving Soon (Combined, 682 in One)_3

This also led many Second-level Staff to never even consider the prospect of promotion.

After all, the social status we currently possess is already sufficient to ensure a superior life for ourselves and our descendants, and nobody likes to risk a decent situation for an uncertain future.

The major organizations also don’t want to waste their hard-earned rare resources and their cultivated powerhouses on a gamble.

That’s another main reason why there’s a limit imposed on the birth of Second Rank Lives."

This information was significant.

Brian hadn’t expected that Enhanced Persons, like Mutants, would also face a test of will to continue advancing.

He wondered if it was because the resources for Enhancement all originated from Mutants or Mutant Beasts.

But it seemed that both groups converged on similar paths in the later stages.

Tagg waited for a moment, giving Brian time to absorb this information, before continuing, "There’s also a third reason, and that’s eating."

"Eating?"

Tagg nodded.

"Yes, eating.

Brian, you must know that at our current level, just maintaining our daily bodily needs requires consuming large amounts of food or those specially formulated nutrient pastes and Nutrient Liquids."

Brian nodded.

Indeed, that was the case.

His Enhancement was achieved through Gift Energy of unknown composition, instantly set in place without additional depletion of his own bodily energy reserves.

But for maintenance, he still had to rely on himself.

He was very hungry now, extremely hungry.

If Brian hadn’t deliberately suppressed it, his powerful stomach would have been growling like thunder by now.

"Have you ever thought about how much food and resources those Third Level staff in the Combat Department have to consume to maintain their daily bodily needs?"

Tagg appeared to find something amusing, chuckling to himself,

"I’ve heard quite an interesting story.

Those Third Level staff, with their exaggeratedly active cellular metabolism and strong digestive capacities, can barely sustain their basic needs with just meat and high-calorie foods.

So initially, the first Enhanced Persons to reach Second Rank Life simply had to sit on the toilet all day, eating and defecating continuously until those scientists urgently synthesized some special nutrient pastes to end that ridiculous state.

But even with those nutrient pastes, it’s hard to sustain their intense combat exertions.

This also leads to the difficulty for these powerhouses to go on missions; they can only stay in one place to reduce their energy consumption, gnawing on those unappetizing things every day.

Plus, their bodies are too strong.

Ordinary pleasures provide little stimulation for them.

Whether it’s women, tobacco, or even narcotics, their exaggerated cellular activity metabolizes it all.

So in reality, they don’t have much of a life."

Brian was somewhat startled by the information Tagg had revealed.

Were those guys really that miserable?

No, not just those guys.

He felt that his muscle-bursting state must be what Tagg referred to as Second Rank Life.

No wonder he felt especially hungry now.

Keep in mind that Brian could control his own body, so he naturally reduced consumption and avoided wasting energy, allowing his body to remain in a low-frequency state most of the time.

Even so, just by experimenting with his strength briefly, he was already unbearably hungry.

Those Third Level Staff who couldn’t lower their body’s frequency of energy consumption were probably in an even worse situation.

It’s no wonder Tagg mentioned eating as a factor impacting the emergence of Third Level Staff, or official Second Rank Enhanced Persons.

...

Tagg was somewhat disappointed that Brian didn’t laugh along when he heard about the miserable situation of the Third Level Staff.

He had laughed for quite a while when he first heard about it.

Brian’s unamused reaction dampened Tagg’s enthusiasm to share.

He added without much interest,

"Don’t worry too much.

The research and development departments of the major official organizations have been working hard to solve this problem.

You see, the Mutant community also gives birth to Second Rank Lives.

But they are different from us Enhanced Persons.

When they elevate their level of life, they undergo certain special changes and develop some strange bodily organs that reduce their bodily wear and improve their absorption of food.

Enhanced Persons are a group that emerged from the bones of deceased Mutants.

I believe that in the near future, we will not only be able to safely become Second Rank Lives but also avoid the unlucky fate of our predecessors."

As he spoke, Tagg pulled a copper box out of his pocket.

The box opened to reveal a row of hand-rolled tobacco.

Brian caught the scent of marijuana from it.

Tagg lit one up and took a deep drag, then exhaled a satisfying puff of smoke,

"To be honest, sometimes I think Mutants are the true evolved beings.

Their strength increases without any impact on their senses, unlike us.

Now when I drink or smoke, I hardly feel anything, and getting rough with women often leaves them battered, which is no fun at all."

Hearing this, Brian smiled and remained silent.

Unlike Enhanced Persons like Tagg, he could not only control his strength finely but also retained his previous senses, and he didn’t need to rely on drugs for some minor physical stimulation like Tagg.

Hm?

Brian seemed to have a thought. He looked down at the pouch around his waist containing Heavenly Grass.

Could these specially cultivated marijuana plants be the pastime product specifically cultivated by the Doomsday Sect for the high-level Enhanced Persons of official organizations?

...

Back in the town,

Brian met with Chief Flory again.
